Most Attractive Airline staff revealed

Attractive Airline staff of Virgin Atlantic

A new poll from a flight comparison site has revealed the UK airlines
with the most attractive airline staff, according to British
holidaymakers. ‘Virgin Atlantic’ topped the poll, with Irish airline
‘Ryanair’ coming in last place.

Virgin Atlantic has topped a poll surrounding the UK’s most
attractive airline staff, according to a study from a flight comparison
website; pipping the likes of Thomas Cook and easyJet to the post.

The poll formed part of a study into the airline satisfaction of UK holidaymakers, conducted by flight comparison site www.Jetcost.co.uk.
1,221 UK fliers aged 18 and over subsequently took part in the study,
answering questions surrounding their attitudes towards flight
attendants.

Irish airline ‘Ryanair’ came bottom of the votes for ‘most
attractive airline staff’; clinching just 5% of the vote by UK fliers.

Following the results from the Airline Satisfaction Awards,
Jetcost.co.uk decided to conduct a follow-up poll to delve deeper into
the thoughts of UK fliers when it comes to the appearance of airline
staff.

Those taking part were asked if they felt that it was ‘important’
for airlines to employ attractive members of airline staff. To this,
the majority of those taking part, 57%, answered ‘yes’; whilst almost
two fifths, 38%, said ‘no.’ Just 5% claimed to have no opinion.

Those was answered ‘yes’ were asked to explain why they felt that
employing attractive airline staff was important. Almost two thirds,
67%, explained that they believed that attractive staff ‘gave off a
better impression of the airline’; whilst a quarter, 23%, simply
explained that attractive staff made for a ‘more pleasant flying
experience’.

However, when asked if they believed that airlines should
consider looks as the most important factor when recruiting airline
staff; the overwhelming majority of respondents, 88%, answered ‘no’.

Jerome Cohen-Scali, Co-Founder of Jetcost.co.uk, commented on the results:
“Having found out in the Airline Satisfaction Awards which airlines UK
fliers believe are home to the most attractive airline staff, we wanted
to take the chance to delve deeper and find out how important fliers
think attractiveness really is when it comes to airline staff. Airline
attendants have long been stereotyped for being somewhat ‘glamorous’;
and whilst it of course should never be considered as a factor in any
profession outside of modelling, it was really interesting to find out
that so many fliers consider it important.”

He continued:
“Of course, attractiveness has nothing to do with being a good airline
attendant, but the majority of fliers felt that attractiveness was an
important factor in giving off a good impression of the airline. Whilst
we could never condone this kind of attitude, we send hearty
congratulations to Virgin Atlantic for being voted the best looking
cabin staff in town; and commiserations to Ryanair!”

The story is nothing unusual for me. Why? Because I know Virgin Atlantic is owned by an English business magnate Sir Richard Branson. A man who's always looking successes and achievements. You can see how good businessman and business leader he is. Take for example Virgin Store, I don't know why there is always something in that store that other stores doesn't have. The marketing styles, displays, and the quality products they are selling. So, Virgin Atlantic awarded as "Most Attractive Airline Staff" is just so fitting and expected. :)
